“We now we have to find solutions without Trent as well but, again, this squad has so much talent, so much power, and as long as counter-pressing is there everything else is replaceable.

“He {Alexander-Arnold] creates a lot of flexibility from the back and he can play passes that the forwards really like, he knows how to decide games and knows when to put balls where.

“The squad has a lot of other qualities in my opinion but for sure we need to find new dynamics.”
